Hope everyone had a fun Halloween. We had much more trick or treaters than in the past which was fun & also means less leftover candy that HAS to be eaten.We had a lovely dry, sunny weekend so we spent it getting things ready around Chez Good Appetite for winter. I raked 16 bags of leaves from the yard, fingers-crossed that's it for the year (especially since this was already the second time I raked this year). Matt worked on getting the gardens all cleared out & cleaned out all the pots from the patio, a hard muddy job.(the brussel sprouts look so lonely)He also took advantage of the sunny weather to scrape & touch up some of the trim paint on the house. Seems like there is always so much to do. Next big project is the dreaded cleaning of the gutters.

Owning a home is so much work! LOL Sometimes I wish I was back in Mexico living in my parents tiny home or my tiny little apartment where everything was just around the corner, the best part: no gutter cleaning or fall leaf racking :-\ LOL

All our candy was gone in a hour! I'm so glad.My husband and I used to manage self storage facilities. There was so much work to do. I don't remember many real days off.The blessing was that we got fired in August. It feels so good to not have that work and to be able to spend time together, as a family.Your family is going to love these meals.You have a great week!

OK -- those Asian peppers look awesome... but I'm loving the rest of your week as well. Just the thought of Pizza Bianca is making me drool... and stew is definitely on our radar this time of the year.

As for the yard work -- tell me about it! We got the leaves raked this past weekend... but we're still working on cleaning out the gardens.
